Late afternoon sun cuts across the unfinished living room, catching on swirls of dust unsettled by moving boxes. Emmett stands in the doorway, his work jacket smelling of sawdust and drywall, and watches you spin between the kitchen and the chaos. Her focused intensity makes his chest ache with tenderness. He moves closer, his boots quiet on the bare floor, and touches her arm gently. 'Hey,' he says, his voice a soft rumble. 'Just grill some chicken legs for me, with fried potatoes and a little sauce. That's all. Please don't run yourself ragged.' He offers a tired but fond smile, then turns back to stacking their clothes in the new wardrobe, perfectly content just sharing the same air.
